I have my battery re-located (nizpro kit) so access was not a problem.It isn't that dark outside yet so can't comment on how much more light there is, but I'm lovin the colour, very white with a hint of blue..Took some before and after pics..

But if your normal lamps are actually turning off as you say it is probably because the h4 high filaments are busted or someone put bulbs in without the high part.

Also need new fog lights as the ones that came with the body kit are sh*t, I wanna HID them up too.. Also keen to get the h7's done..Wenier, I had a muck around before I put the HDI's in.. headlights on, pull the stalk back and the headlamps stay on aswell with the high beams, but when I push the stalk forward to 'lock' the stalk in high beam, the headlight goes off leaving only the high beam lights on. So in order to not having the HID's turning on and off too quickly, I just have to pull on the stalk and hold it there when/ if I need high beams..

The H4's wont matter, but the inners will as they'll be the ones warming up.Pulling the stalk back will be the same as pushing it forward I imagine?I'm assuming the 'headlights' your referring to are just the low beams?

And yes the inner headlamps H7's? are the ones that'll need the warm up time, also they look really sh*t when used with the HID headlamps the yellow sticks out like dogs balls.. Might get that sorted tomo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1600dave Donating Members 872 Member For: 13y 10m 4d Posted 15/02/12 11:46 AM Share Posted 15/02/12 11:46 AM Looks good anyway.Reckon I might go some 5000k H4's, with high and fogs 4300k for better performance, won't matter if they don't match exactly as they aren't on when other traffic is around.Bit OT, but I can't stand people that drive round with poorly adjusted headlights (supposedly an rwc item isn't it?), foggies on when its not foggy whatsoever, or parkers & fog lights on instead of low beams. I use my low beams during the day sometimes for visibility on sh*t roads or around sh*t drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
